Geoff Bodine EXCLUSIVE accident Daytona wreck 2000 Truck 

That is some good ass camera quality for 2000

its awesome seeing the massive crowd there for a truck race. NASCAR has done such a terrible job promoting this series

This was one of the scariest, most gut-wrenching moments I ever experienced watching NASCAR... but you know, Bodine was one of the guys responsible for making NASCAR safer than it was in the rough old days. It was good to see it pay off in a personal way for him, and is good to know that he's still got the fire inside. Really excellent footage you got, there. Thank you very much for sharing it.

in the slow motion shot, you can actually see the catch fence ripping the engine and forward area from the fire wall forward off!

That really is incredible footage. Never imagined pit road footage would exist.

Damn. That is an astounding shot. None of us really got to see what happened to his truck until after he came out of the fireball. This type of shot really helps to understand the nature of the crash better, and it's excellent footage. I still can't believe that he survived, with relatively minor injuries too! As you can see, his saving grace would seem to be that he never did suffer a sudden stop. That, and Lonnie Rush Jr. seemed to hit the undercarriage rather than the top of the cage.

How Bodine survived this is beyond me.

The catch fence is like a cheese grater. Just look at the way the front of the truck disappears.

wow.. i never knew this angle existed.. great footage. i remember watching this live

Incredible footage; thank you so much for sharing it.

Man this is prolly the most violent nascar crash ever in my opinion and crazy this was a year before dale’s fatal crash and I miss the old sounds of nascar and no stage racing!

"oh look out we got trouble, this is gonna hurt" (complete and utter carnage ensues)

When I shot this, Bodine's truck came off the fence and was immediately punted by the #27 truck of Lonnie Rush Jr.; this sudden and additional upward burst of motion caused me to quickly "zoom out" to try and locate Bodine's truck again. In slo-motion you can see this occur, and equally amazing is separation of the small-block engine in a tumbling fireball, plus complete front end suspension parts.

Some of the most amazing footage ever captured of a racing accident. Thank you for sharing.

this was the angle i have been looking for of this crash

All the more incredible from having to shoot between heads and shoulders along enormously crowded pit wall!!

Interesting. I did not know that Kurt drove the #99 in 2000. Also, this is some of the best footage I've seen of this accident. Keep up the good work.

WOW, that quality is amazing for a video that was recorded in 2000

you sir, are going to become famous with this video. what an amazing capture in such amazing quality.

I remember Geoff from when he raced modifieds back in 70s and 80s. He definitely has an angels looking out for him.

Bruh I've seen bank security cameras in 2020 with less quality than this random video from 2000

Amazing that this is only now being seen after 10 years!

I’ve seen a few photos of this wreck and it’s honestly haunting and amazing how you can literally see Geoff throughout the crash, while he’s flipping and the other cars are on the track

Wow, never knew a low-angle shot of that wreck existed.

Probably one of the scariest moments in NASCAR history, I'm never going to forget seeing this for the first time and being completely flabbergasted by the fact that he was still breathing after this accident.

Whats even weirder is that nascar apparently preserved the truck for some reason I think it currently sits in the motorsports hall of fame

Worked maintenance at a track in Canada, the crash was so severe it took off the drivers arm, he was passed out at the time. Fire Crews had never seen such carnage let alone blood at a race track, well I’ll tell ya that picking up the Drivers arm was the single biggest, and last thing I ever did. Lucky, getting the arm on ice and off to the Hospital saved his arm….2 years later he was racing again…….

I love Goeff , My Father took me to see him as a little kid, He is the Best am Thankful to God he did not die.

Just crazy in the slow-mo to watch the hood of that truck just melt away, thanks for sharing.

Incredible footage. You should work for one of the NASCAR networks. I've never seen an angle like this one before this video..it's crazy how the back end of the car whipped around after hitting the fence.

Amazing footage. It really shows how Bodine's truck got pushed into the catch fence and torn up like it was run across a cheese grater. Did NASCAR ever see this footage or did anybody ask for it, to use it in examining how the truck came apart and if anything could be learned for future safety?

wow i wish there more videos from the pit stop good thing Geoff was safe

ive always wondered what happened because you cant see from the tv camera through all the flames. great capture and qaulity especially from a camera from 2000.

Fantastic quality for the year.

I always thought he died when i saw this crash as a kid watching crash compilations on youtube Gotta love safety measures

Wow great footage this is the best i have ever seen for this

@TheEverlastingSM well not quite. The driver was actually in the hospital for a few months clinging to life followed by months of rehab as well as a few injuries to those in the stands. But yeah, that catch fence saved the series from pretty much getting shut down

1:02 those poor poor people right infron of the catch fence...... thank goodness for seat belts!!!!! :D

oh man this is an incredible angle of the crash

Wow good angle. That fence mangled that car.

astonishing quality

You really did a great job on this video! Very bad crash + dramatic music = perfect video! Nice!

First crash of the race finds rookie Kurt Busch (#99 Exide Batteries) sideways, causing Marty Houston's blue machine (#4) to lose control and make contact with rear of Randy Renfrow (#41), who "almost" flips, but somehow does not.

I just wish that all the safety changes that came after Earnhardt's Death the following year could have been implemented after the Bodine crash and maybe Dale would still be here.

Wow. 1080p in the year 2000!? Most TV networks couldn't do that back then.

This looks like it was filmed in 2012

Now, this actually shows what happend to his truck. You cant see anything from the original angle.

That guy on the pit the lap that happened is lucky

#Prayers #WellTakeItFromHere

man great photography i seriously put this in my favorites, that was one terrible wreck

for 2000, it looks like like something that is filmed today

Early 720P camera?

Strange, from the original angle, I thought that Bodine's truck went COMPLETELY into the fencing (left-side first). From this new one, though, can see that the nose "catching" the fence (and the #27 hit him right after) made this crash more devastating!

#27-Lonnie Rush Jr

To this day. Worst crash I’ve ever seen in any motorsport, or sport period.

NASCAR TRUCK SERIES 2000, ERA MUITO BOA NA ÉPOCA

Scary. Very Scary. Glad he is ok.

The music, it sounds like I heard it before in a game. And how did Bodine survive that crazy crash>!

Lucky man to live thru that.

*Worst crash in Craftsman history.*

amazing vid! great work.

+Don Gillespie I have to ask, what was the mood in the pits after the crash?

1080p HD FTW

other than the interlacing, the quality is good

@JaddKaizanMC It wasn't the catchfense but the pole holding the catchfence.

Randy Renfrow in the #41 he is the truck who almost goes over at 0:15, he actually stays on two wheels

Its amazing from that angle you see how nasty that hit from Lonnie Rush was I never knew how hard that was from the TV angle And its amazing how Renfrow didnt flip that truck

Just imagine being in that car

Dude excellent capture. faved. :)

0:27 The aftermath of the crash with that tire rolling around looks like a movie scene Jokes aside, this is one of the most violent crashes I've ever seen

0:54 The 99 Truck of Kurt Busch was lucky as hell.

It is amazimg how that fence tore up the body like a cheese grader. Unbelievable.

@69mopar440 Definitely. Without the catch fencing being as strong as it is, it could have possibly been a wreck a la Le Mans 1955.

0:14 I have Question that truck flip?

Geoff Bodine talks about the accident on our channel, see the ON THE RUN playlist

@Nas49Razing That was Randy Renfrow, but he didn't flip (he sure came close to doing just that, though).

0:13 did another truck flip?

hey man what's the ambient song at the end from?

way to add overly dramatic music

Meet the guy that owned/built that truck in North Georgia couple years back.

I SAW HIS HELMET!!

the crash looks alot different from this view. on the tv it looks like it just flew directly into the fence but this shows how it like crawled up the wall

Unbelievable...

did the car at :13 flip?

I can understand that view, IMO Bodine's was because of the hits he took after hitting the fence. But then again, i don't think any fans were seriously injured in this wreck compared to yesterday's.

If only Nascar had paid attention to how much worse the outcome of this crash could've been and made some changes across the sport then maybe we wouldn't have lost Earnhardt.

Holy shit! That other guy at 15:00 almost flipped to

Wow. To be fair the accident doesn't look as bad from this angle. If you look at the cockpit it doesn't seem to stop as badly as the tv angle. Still a hell of a crash though.

The #4 truck is actually Bobby Hamilton

this is a wild video

Who was that at 0:06?

I was at this race!!!! That happened right in from me!!!! My 1st ever race!!! And no other sport compares to NASCAR!!!! Lol

Well if you take in account the hits after Bodine made contact with the fence, than totally agreed that Bodine's was much worse. I was just looking at the initial impact with the fence and Larson had a harder hit it appears. Both very scary incidents. I couldn't believe the damage to the 32 yesterday. I swore his legs where taken off after seeing the car.

These crashes always make it look like the vehicle is made of paper.

It's bad, but doesn't look as bad as on the tv cameras. The bit of the car that kinda obliterated was the front, avoiding the driver. Good thing too.

That first crash looked like the dude flipped.

What's the music that starts at 0:51?

cool race sound

@Kaseythehusky it was Randy Renfrow and no he just got up on two wheels RU-vid search 'NASCAR Craftsman Trucks at Daytona 2000: (pt.6/16)'

any body seen final destination..
